Director Nacer
Khemir traces the
profound journey of a
young girl and her blind
grandfather into the
desert as they search
for a legendary
gathering of elders in
an unknown location....

Bab Aziz is a feast for
the eyes, the ears, and most
of all the heart. A small
girl follows her elderly
grandfather out into the
desert of the soul in search
of a gathering of dervishes,
and what a gathering it is!
But getting there, like life
itself, is the
transformative part, without
which the arriving itself
can never happen. This tale
within a tale within a tale
is sure to delight fans of
Sufism, mysticism, great
epic tales, and really good
music. I saw this film four
times the first week it was
in theaters. Chances are, a
lot of DVD viewers will view
and re-view this enchanting
visual epiphany often.
